2010 Vikings

Huge Viking fan here. what are the chances the Vikes win it all this year? Im always optimistic but I'm feelin it this year. If they have a good draft, i think they have to be favorites to at least make it to the Super Bowl. Your thoughts?

Re: 2010 Vikings

They have a top 3 DE in the league, two top 5 D-lineman, a top 2 RB, a stacked O-line, and have guys like Percy Harvin, Visanthe Shiancoe, and Sidney Rice. All the pieces are there, just have to put them together.

Re: 2010 Vikings

This season could be the last good one for awhile. Favre and Pat Williams may retire next year and Sage, Jackson, Ray Edwards, Sydney Rice, Chad Greenway, Ben Leber and Ryan Longwell will be free agents. Need to get some guys re-signed and/or replaced in the draft this week.

It REALLY hurt losing Chester. I think we'll see that come fall.

I'd really like to see them take a running back in the 3rd round. The draft is pretty deep at that position, and there should be some talent left by the time they pick. I think a guy like Ben Tate from Auburn or even Toby Gerhart would be a nice addition. If they go 1st round -CB/DT 2nd Round CB/DT 3rd Round RB, I'll be very happy.

due to the rules in place because of the lack of salary cap, they were only allowed to pick up free agents to replace ones that they lost, and even then they were not allowed to pay them more than the players that they lost. Their options were limited.

Actually, this RB class is extremely weak. It's Spiller and then everyone else. Favre has said good things about Albert Young, but I would rather see the vikings attempt to sign Brian Westbrook to fill that 2 spot. I do think, if Gerhart had the right weight training program he could be the next Mike Alstott - a heavy RB/FB that could fill the holes for AP or take it over the top on a 4 & 1 or on the goal-line.

I agree that Spiller is the only homerun of the running backs, but there is plenty of value to be had in the 3rd and 4th rounds.

Look at guys like Tate, Dwyer, Best, Hardisty, Matthews, etc. This draft may not have a ton of RB's taken in the first round picks like in 2008, but there is plenty of depth.
